Borderlands two is pretty great. The writing is really good and although Handsome jack is no general knox he's pretty funny. Also Claptrap!

Anyone in here playing Borderlands 2 on PS3? I've done co-op with random people but it just becomes a sprint to grab all the loot drops, I'd rather play with some actual cooperative people.

Damn, I want to do that exact same thing but on PC

[Luna Guardian]

Darksiders 2 is proving to be everything I hoped it to be. I loved the first part a lot, and the second improves on that immensily. I am very very keen on learning how the story continues and finally ends

I played the heck out of that for a while. Now I'm hooked on Angry Birds Star Wars.... :o

[Shag Nasty]

I just picked up and started running a pencil and paper RPG (I know kicking it old school dork right) called All Flesh Must Be Eaten a zombie survival horror game.I was tossing around what to do with it when I thought why not run it in the We're Alive setting and have the players meet and interact with the characters from this excellent story.Just got finished with my first session and so far they have met Burt and Datu and made their way to the tower.This is going to be fun.My players are expecting Romero and I'm going to spring Wayland on them!By the way because I dropped a few hints of what is to come this podcast just got three new listeners!

X-Com... Wow. I played UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep when they first came out as PC games (1995 or 96 maybe?). For the time they came out, they were pretty daggum good. Didn't know the franchise was still around. Might have to check it out and see how far it's come....

[reaper239]

x-com: enemy unknown. it's a strategy game, absolutely brilliant.

From what I've heard about it, I should absolutely love it. But.... I still have too many games in my queue. So, for now, I'm bouncing between Halo 4, Borderlands 2, Magic 2013, and Dance Central 3.

Just realized I'm not playing original IPs. yet.

Milk the franchise for all it's worth. And when it's not worth it anymore, make the same stuff with a new color scheme to try to lure in desperate gamers who loved the original stuff...

Oh, and you kids get off my lawn! :-)

[Kc]

I keep trying Halo 4, but the more I play it the more frustrating it is and I don't like it. The orange crap needs to go. It's not even fun or skill oriented. The orange weapons are entirely inaccurate and the enemies don't have headshots (except for those stupid dog things). They expect you to be able to kill those floating tires with VERY crappy weapons. It'd be one thing if you got to use your own human weapons, but that lasts like 5 seconds with all the skill-less shooting you have to do.

*Sigh.

Nice to see I'm not the only one seriously under-whelmed by Halo 4.

The multiplayer mechanics have been changed for the worse.

The ability to see weapons as they spawn removes the fun of learning the maps.

Kill streaks are just a bad idea. DOESN'T work 343i.
All your doing is making the game less well balanced by allowing the people who already posses power weapons to gain more.

The armour looks like bad, power-rangers inspired action figures from when I was a kid. Its lost the serious military vibe it had in reach.
Oh and there are too many different power weapons which spawn to frequently.

In an attempt to establish that there's a new man in town 343i have changed things too fast and for the better. Apart from Dominion, that can stay.

Over all reach is the better game for sure.

well, i think it's a combination of things, established IPs almost always have a garunteed audience to buy, so in that respect you're right, they're safe. however, look at games like bioshock infinite, i can honestly say that that game is getting ready to blow my mind like a bullet to the brainpan. .45 acp. if not for publishers giving devs on established IPs an almost blank check to build it and put it out, we wouldn't have games like that. plus, in order for a new IP to launch, especially from a dev that's not real big, it has to be absolutely outstanding.

reach was a different time period. reach was at the beginning of the covenant war, while 4 is some time after. you have to expect a certain level of cosmetic change. for instance, i bet is soldiers from the 70's were magically teleported to today, they'd be like, "what is up with those uniforms? that doesn't look military at all." haven't played halo 4 so i can't speak to the rest of it, but that's where i come in on cosmetics.

Thats not my point though. My point is that the aesthetic doesn't fit in with the rest of the universe.
Nobody dictated to them that the new armour had to look like that.
They just took the art direction for multiplayer armour in a frankly BAD direction (all of this is IMHO obviously).

The appearance of the new enemy types is frankly annoying as well.
I dislike the hardlight orange aesthetic and the fact the "knights" make a ghost rider face at you is just cheesy.
Halo has always felt like your fighting aliens with personality before. Now it feels like your fighting mindless robots.
Not as fun.

I agree. I honestly don't care as much of how it looks as how it plays. I'm slowly exploring other things, but I HATE the glowy orange bullshit weapons and robots. I love it when the covenant is there, and want to turn the game off for the orange things. I'm so adamant about how bad it is I want to contact 343 and offer help.

[BoomerXL]

Well, lately I've been playing through Borderlands 2 "True Vault Hunter Mode", I'm pretty early in this playthrough but I already see quite a few differences between this and the first time through the game. Enemies are obviously tougher, so you really have to use cover a lot more this time, you also really have to land critical hits on enemies to bring them down quickly...oh and slag is very important now.

I played through Journey a couple of weeks back, had an awesome time with that...played through it twice the first night...lol (though it only takes about 2-3 hours). Looking forward to picking up Unfinished Swan tomorrow (it's going on sale) and then I wanna do an Ironman playthrough of XCOM on "classic" difficulty.

[Luna Guardian]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Very good and very interesting. Good gameplay and good story.

[Wicked Sid]

Mostly been playing Arma 2. Wasteland server mod and some DayZ, anticipating standalone, Mass Effect, and Limbo. Just working through a back catalog.

[Hellbringer]

Like a lot of you guys, I wasn't too impressed with Halo 4. I really do dislike how the armor looks. The shoulder armor alone is so off-putting, that I limit myself to choices that don't look so out of place. And I really hate that I see everyone's spandex, too. I'm maxed out on the multiplayer level (SR-130) and I don't know if any experience I earn will carry over if 343 decides to drop additional levels to go after, but I seriously doubt it (I did a weekly challenge worth 5K + of experience and saw only 500 of it go to my SR-110 rank. The rest did NOT carry over. That should give you some context to my griping.)

I popped Borderlands 2 in after the Big Game Hunt downloaded. I need to drop out of True Vault Hunter mode and play it in regular mode. The first couple of enemies were kicking my ass, especially when their war chief kept leveling them up.

I ran back into Unbound Saga to grab the last two cheevos I needed from that thing.

I played the heck out of Magic 2013.

But right now, between plopping in Dance Central 3 sesssions, I decided I needed to play Supreme Commander 2 once I finished Bionic Commando. Don't play Bionic Commando; it's not bad, but EVERY Spider-Man game ever is better than this thing. And don't get me started on the story...

Guild Wars 2, a great game. Even better when played with friends. EVEN even better when played with your girlfriend ^^

[Carlos]

i'm currently playing Red Faction Armageddon, Resident Evil 6 Dead Space 3.
After having just beaten Darksiders, and Halo 4
and i have the entire Alan Wake Franchise (on sale on steam for 10 bucks right now) and Deus Ex Human Revolution in the chamber waiting for me.
and as for multiplayer i do Battlefield 3 (Premium), Chivalry, Natural Selection 2,The War Z and League of Legends

and for the chamber in the further back catalog is Mass effect 1 (Insanity playthrough) Mass Effect 2 (Insanity playthrough) Mass effect 3 (insanity playthrough + all the DLC) and Fallout 3's DLC

[Carlos]

Interesting. Still not sure whether its worth it. Didn't play much gears 1 r two and I don't want just another Bro shooter. On the other hand Gears has always had the potential to be a darker, less machismo game. This interests me.

u wont find it in gears bro, its as BRO as they come man lol
multiplayer in gears 1 was the best game ever of all time tho

[Hellbringer]

Finished playing Supreme Commander 2. If you are at all familiar with how to play ANY real time strategy game on a console, you can beat this on the "hard" difficulty. Still fun as all heck, though. But I didn't care for the storyline.

Trudging through that Hammerlock DLC for Borderlands 2. For some reason, Borderlands 2 lost its spark with me recently. Kind of like Halo 4.

Tried to play Alone in the Dark. Tried, but the game gave me a dirty disc error and when I checked it, I didn't see any prints or scratches. guess I wasn't meant to play it.

So, I have about two weeks left before I head to Germany for a month, and I'm still trying to clear out my backlog. I won't touch Skyrim until I get back...

Maybe tonight, I'll figure out if I want to play Sands of Time or not.

[reaper239]

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and i was screaming that the whole way home.

[Solanine]

I enjoyed what I played of gears 1's multiplayer but it didn't overwhelm me. As for the best game ever, you have the right to an opinion I suppose.
I will respect your right to be wrong.

[Solanine]

Also I'm still playing Battlefield 3. Gave up on the campaign like two missions in (it sucks so hard in comparison to BadCompany 2's campaign) but the multiplayer is fun.
Over all I reckon BadComany 2 is a better game but since nobody is online anymore it looks like I'm stuck with this for the moment.
Also the crossbow is surprisingly deadly on hardcore, just recently acquired my first service star.

[turbo]

Restarted the original Metal Gear Solid for PS1...those pixels never looked so beautiful!

[Hellbringer]

congrats on getting that star. i like that things don't reset once you earn it. I haven't played BF3 since July, but I still intend on getting back into it. It's a great multiplayer game to go with.

I don't know what it s about cross bow thats so satisfying but I'm already half way to the next service star.
Its really fun to kill snipers with. And taking out a tank with explosive bolt has to be one of my proudest moments in game.
Although my preferred way to kill snipers is to walk up behind them with magnum aim at their head and wait for them to realise your there.
Then Pull the trigger.

Another thought on Battlefield, they've fixed snipers. It appears bolt action rifles are the only one-hit-kill rifles. BBC2 was so frustrating on hardcore due to snipzorz.

my proudest moment was playing as an engineer, dancing through a mortar strike, then through an artilery barrage (or whatever the soflam calls in, not sure what it's called) diving off the roof of a building, and smacking a tank with my smaw from the air and blowing it up. i was screaming into the mic the whole time. when i landed, i had zero health until my squad mate spawned and healed me. it was like some james bond/mission impossible moment. that's what i loved about bfbc2, some of the epic moments, like cruising in a tank on heavy metal and sniping a helo with the main cannon, or dancing detween bullets and behind buildings to take out two squads with your buddy and claiming a spawn point, or mortaring a helo that's trying to road kill you on the side of a mountain. i died, but i took that a-hole with me. i need to get back into bf3 so i can have more big moments.

[Solanine]

I never took to the engineer class in BfBc2. Support/ recon were always my go to classes.
Unfortunately I never bought the Vietnam expansion. It was supposed to be good fun but at the time I didn't have the money.

it was, meh. engineer was my go to class. still is really, that's always the first one i max out. recon has always been the bane of my existence, but i never got into the support class in bf3. i was all over that medic classs in bfbc2 though, i'd get the highest score just running around picking people up.

[Hellbringer]

I'm still a support guy, because I love the hell out of my M60. But I'm flexible based off of how the game is going. If I need to be an engineer, so be it. Same with sniper, but you can bet a resupply's worth of ammo that I will pack the "hog" when given a chance.

AT and Medic, those are my go to. the splash damage on that rocket launcer can solve most problems, and i love my smgs and carbines, and running around picking up dead guys is the best way to farm points and promote zombieism that i've found so far.

[Solanine]

Medic is prob my favourite class to play. After I'd unlocked everything I'd just role with that and the M14 rifle. Semi Auto rifles are just so satisfying to me.
one of my biggest disappointments with B3 is the limited nature of the all kit unlock-able weapons.
Shotguns are cool (870MCS is the gun I have most kills with in the game) and the SMG's are ok but there is nothing with a decent range thats not locked to a particular class.

Moving the medic duty over to assault seems like a mistake to me. I have zero motivation to play support now.
LMG's are only medium range, hugely inaccurate without bipod and have next to zero stopping power at anything over than close range.
Mortar is cool i suppose but re-supplying is dull and it feels as if your making very little contribution to the team to earn all those points.

[Hellbringer]

play support on the Metro map and see how many points you rack up when the battle revolves around checkpoint B. Dropping a resupply, and laying suppressive fire (with some kills along the way), quickly adds up.

I've tried this but tbh i get more with SKS/ QBU (4x sight, silenced, foregrip). I'm playing Rush BTW (just for clarity), its the only way to play battlefield.
Suppression isn't something that interests me. Any Bozo can set up a bipod and spray down a corridor for points. Also I'm OCD about keeping my KD above 1.
And reloading. After an engagement with LMG I'm constantly aware that I don't have a full clip. This will nag at me for the next 30-40 seconds until I give in and reload.
Thats usually when the enemy pops up.

[Solanine]

This doesn't come under the description but I have a documentary series I'd like to recommend.

A Life Well Wasted by Robert Ashley is a really great serious of podcast documentaries about the games press, fans and a whole range of other related topics.
They are edited together using music from the creators band "I come to Shanghai". Production quality is really brilliant, second only to WA.

Take that as you want. Just trying to share something thats really great and FREE through Itunes.

[REZombie]

Resident Evil 6 and the latest Halo.

I like RE 6 alot so far, the multiple stories are a nice touch. Right now i'm playing through Ada's story line. Halo is just..eh. Never been a big Halo fan, but my wife likes it.

[Hellbringer]

Since I don't have my xbox in Germany, I'm playing android games... Empire Defense II is played a lot. Of course, I did bring my DS, so I'm funneling through replays of the Advance Wars series for some kicks.

[OldtypeM87]

Took a break from Halo in the last month, need to go back and finish the last 2 episodes of Spartan Ops. Currently playing a classic in Dynasty Warriors 7 and the new Naruto game. After both, going back to halo, madden (get the last few online achievements), and start Anarchy Reigns.

I was NOT happy with the storyline for Spartan Ops. And I feel like they cheapened the second half of the 1st season by upping the difficulty to legendary and tossing in way too many elites to make the game any fun for online play. But I did get a ton of XP and maxed out my level, but I don't think it was worth it.

I'm currently forced to take a month long hiatus from Halo (and anything Xbox) until the beginning of April.

[Vlarken]

I have to be in disagreement: I thought the entirety of Spartan Ops season one was excellent, and upping the difficulty to Legendary made it feel like it wasn't a complete cakewalk. I mean, come on, Heroic (or anything below) with four people on a team isn't even fair, unless they're all first time players or something. And I'm fine with Elites as long as I don't have to fight the goddam Prometheans; I prefer Covenant combat any day.

Also, Bioshock Infinite is in six days and I'm starting to shake from anticipation.

I thought the whole concept and storyline was fairly original and interesting in a way. Though I agree on the gameplay of it, I felt it was a bit repetitive and long on some parts. But it's easy to get through especially on Legendary since you can respawn over and over until you finish the mission as compared to story mode, it just meant I died a decent amount of times (7-15 times a mission going solo). But with Halo, it's all about multiplayer. It's what most people get it for.

[Hellbringer]

Don't get me wrong; I'd rather fight Covenant than the Promotheans as well, but it felt cheap to bump the difficulty to legendary and set a high elite every five feet in some of the sections. Especially in cooridors. Yes, I respawned a lot, and that alone took away a fluid playing experience for me. It didn't help that I had people dropping out when I played too. I think I only had a full 4 party Spartan Ops team about half the time after January. Also, as for the plot, the biggest problem I had was what they did with Dr. Halsey at the end. I've never read the books, but what she did and said just goes against my grain... And Roland was annoying sometimes.

Multiplayer is fun, but... yeah, I'm going to leave that alone for now.

Ah yah, I can see where you're coming from. I had lots of connection issues as well... It was so bad that I looked it up on the Internet and found out that they use a different server type for Spops than for Wargames. The way it was explained made sense for the different game type, but they really need to find a way to overcome the problem of one person's shit connection making the game slow for everyone. I think they should group people by connection type and not pair someone with a fast connection with someone who has a laggy one.
As for Halsey's choices... I can see her doing it, having read the books, especially after tensions between Elites and Humans have calmed a bit, so it's more like one human faction betraying another than betraying your entire species.



The Walking Dead game........it sucks....

Man, I sure hope you're talking about Survival Instinct, because Telltale's game was one of the best games of last year.

[Hellbringer]

Man, I sure hope you're talking about Survival Instinct, because Telltale's game was one of the best games of last year.

I agree. I really liked Telltale's game. Good story, good controls (mostly... I'm an inverted guy; yes, I'm old), and good stylization. Telltale has more good hits than misses, and this game is really up there, if not the best they've done yet.

[REZombie]

its the telltale games one. I'm through the first episode,and so so far its kinda boring to me...I like having a changing story based on what I say and do, but it feels like so far there is no real game play...

Hi there,

I agree. I really liked Telltale's game. Good story, good controls (mostly... I'm an inverted guy; yes, I'm old), and good stylization. Telltale has more good hits than misses, and this game is really up there, if not the best they've done yet.

So did I. It was the whole multiple outcomes and how what you did and said affected gameplay. I like games like that. The story does pick up as you get further in in the later episodes.

Same here! I was hooked from the start! The promise of having a new episode every month didnt quite make it, but I kinda liked it that way.. Everytime I was really looking forward for all new episodes and reading on the Teltale forum about possible plot twists. Growing up with playing a lot of adventure games I totally didn't miss the lack of action. But the best thing of the game was the Character development, every character had his own story, and at the end I had the feeling I really knew them. Cant wait for Season 2!

[Bakkie-Pleur]

Btw for the old timers over here like me.. Check this out, its a all new zombie game with really, but really retro grapics! It's on steam for 3,99. Also availble on android and Iphone/Ios

I saw that Bioshock Infinite got great reviews. What's everyone's personal take on it?

It looks alright. Haven't actually seen actual gameplay footage of it, so I don't know if it's exactly the same as the first two in the sense of the scariness factor the first two had. From all I have seen, it's look more amusing compared to scary

[Solanine]

Its not a horror game. I would argue Bioshock 1 wasn't either. Although it had horror aspects the game was more focussed on telling a story than scaring you. Hence no monster closets.
i'm looking forward to Inifinite but I'll wait a while until the price goes down because I'm cheap.

[Hellbringer]

Apparently, I'm a sucker for the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. I got Batman: Arkham City for Father's Day, but I still need to play the original before I jump on that one. Oh, and The Cave is a fun throwback to adventure games like Monkey Island.

[Lieoften]

I've mostly been playing games that would be considered 'out of cycle'--not a current game--Command and Conquer 3 (and 4), Minecraft and Myst Online.

Monkey island!!! My favorite game series when i was young..heck its still on of my favorites! Have to check out that game!

[Hellbringer]

It's made by Tim Shafer who worked on Monkey Island... and you can tell when you play it.

If you like Monkey Island as much as I do, then (if you haven't) you should try out Maniac Mansion if you can find a copy somewhere. I don't care for the sequel to Maniac Mansion, but I absolutely loved the original.

[Bakkie-Pleur]

It seems i already knew the cave but was a bit dispointed that it was not a real point and click adventure, but should try it out. Ohh I played all the lucasarts games, I even played maniac mansion on the good old nintendo 8bit :) but i did love day of the tentacle, on of the best time travel stories ever writen! Back in the days i was obessed by monkey island, Me and a friend even created our own money island games with click and play and the games factory, we had games like lucasarts fighters and tentacle island. Man those where the days.:rolleyes:

[Hellbringer]

Okay, finished Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. I bother much with the challenge maps; I find those boring, not adding to the story, and since they don't directly support multiplayer, they won't be my cup of tea.

I did download the final DLC for Borderlands 2 and XBox is having a good sale, so I purchased the Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3 at half off.

Of course, I leave this weekend for Alabama for five weeks and I'm taking the computer room's XBox, so I'll probably be playing Skyrim when I'm not doing training class and college assignments.

[DogFromDuckhunt]

Total War Rome 2

Guild Wars 2 eventually. Hope to get to it before the lastest event passes.

[Hellbringer]

Finally beat the main quest in Skyrim, and now I have to work on the Dawnguard DLC... and mop up two achievements from the main game (marriage and the 1000 bounty ones).

But Ducktales comes out today on XBox, and I plan on reliving my childhood with that real soon.

[Hellbringer]

Man, this thread fell to the wayside.... Okay, I'm resurrecting this back up.

I'm playing Battlefield 4 (all the updates are apparently keeping it from crashing now... so far).

Also playing Injustice on the 360 and android (I really suck at fighting games now... I am way past my prime when people would virtually duke it out in the arcades).

Oh, and when I eventually have time from my college course, I bought the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3 so I have to play that as well.

[Grognaurd]

Mass effect 3. I should take another look at that. I played once through and thought the ending sucked. I played through again to try and get a higher ending and that sucked, too. I was so pissed. The games were so good. Playing up to the ending with the squad getting slaughtered and then the slushy controls when sheppard is super wounded and still going was great. Smoking man. Cool. Monty hall door number 1 or 2 or ... Ending choices sucked. It was like the writers said lets do things that do not usually happen in games. But damn, the reason there are not endings like this is they suck.

[Burgerbros]

Dayz Standalone, Hearthstone, FTL, CS:GO, Arma 3.

I wasn't thrilled with the ending(s) either, and after listening to multiple gaming podcasts and youtube stuff, I wonder if EA had a big hand in how the end went down originally. I mean, the first Mass Effect is my favorite. The second one was good, but EA was the publisher, and they have overtly tried in the past to gain as many buyers as possible. That push, to me anyway, is why the sequel was such a departure from the original, gameplay-wise. The 3rd one had lots of moments, but the end did ultimately feel like it was shoehorned.

But I'm told the Citadel DLC is a blast to play and is definitely built for the fans.

[HardKor]

I've been pretty obsessed with WWE 2k14 lately. I just started my third year in Universe mode. And I just made Scratch as a competitor in the Divas' Division (Riley's the next one I'm going to make)

you gotta put up pics on that!

I created classic x-men characters on rock band because I saw some interesting outfits available. I should post them on here at some point.

[Grognaurd]

So I DL'ed the Cit, Lev and Omega. Started playing again. Do you know if there is something wrong with the iPhone AP? I want to upgrade the war readiness stuff, to, but it doesn't seem to link. It says I need an Internet connection and I know that is not the problem.

I don't have an iPhone, but I know quite a few who played the Mass Effect app to do what you're talking about. I just did the multiplayer initially for single player readiness, but that aspect was so addictive. But yeah, I know nothing about actually linking the iPhone to the actual game.

[Grognaurd]

They dropped the Ap support and moved it to a web-based function through their own site. N7 HQ Galactic Rediness. This is a better way for me to advance the war readiness. I suck so bad at these hand eye coordination games that I feel bad about co-op, I think I actually hinder the team, lol. I like ME, because of the cinematic play style. I find some of the shooting sections really hard, but I push through. I do not think I could o it on insanity level, though.

I also like Fabel 3 because of the ease of the fighting controls. I know a lot of people think those are cheezy, but I like story and choose your own a lot more than hand-eye coordination games.

[Solanine]

So I'm playing flappy bird right now (obviously). While I'm here I thought I might shamelessly plug a kickstarted

Outerlands is a new video game documentary series from area 5 (made of ex 1 up safe responsible for the coop show etc).
They have a brilliant track record including I am streetfughter which you can watch on youtube for free courtesy of Capcom.
Anyway TL : DR Outerlands will be awesome, but they need donations now. So far they're at $140,000 of their $210,000 budget with 8 days remaining.
I'm posting links to their kickstarted page and proof of concept video below.

Currently right now I am cycling through The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, The Walking Dead Season 2 by Tell Tale Games, and The Last of Us/Left Behind.........I have to get my post-apocalyptic fix

[Hellbringer]

So I am back to Battlefield 4. One of the DLC packs had the M60 in it and I love that gun.

But I'm also playing Injustice on the 360 and on android. Definitely a time waster on mobile devices.

[Hellbringer]

My wife surprised me with an Xbox One a couple of weeks back, and it was the Titanfall bundle (returned and reduced at Target, so she got it for 150 less than retail). So, when I'm not on BF4, doing a college course, or messing around on the tablet, I'm on that game.

The only bad thing is that one map, ONE, won't load and it freezes the Xbox One. I can't redownload it because the previous owner downloaded it, so it's not under my ownership. I do plan on calling MS and finding out what I can do, but in the mean time, I'm enjoying the game for what it is.

So you can't delete it and download it on your own account? Odd.....

That's the game I currently play on my iPhone. I like it a lot, 'cause it is just the right thing for inbetween, as a filler if I have to wait for something, or shit ...

And today a friend pointed me towards the YouTube videos for "Elite Dangerous" ... Man, what a game ... I hope to find a huge bundle of bucks in order to afford me a new computer, the proper hardware and the game as soon as it is availableon the market (currently it is in Beta) ...

I decided to fire up Skyrim again a couple weeks ago. I never completed it, so I started a new character and am having a blast.

My previous character was a badd ass (Sneak Archer), so I made a contrasting specialist, I'd previously learned was difficult (for the challenge) as a Sneak Caster. It is fun, regardless.

At the moment it is WoW. One of the brightest games in the last 2 years for me. And the Nyalotha mission is arguably the hardest mission I have ever played I believe! It is the only mession to accomplish which I had to even buy certain boosters. But in terms of emotions it was worth it!

I remember this mission. I also spent tons of time to accomplish it eventually :) but didn't like WoW at all. Not my type of game.

[NatanBricks12]

Personally, I love playing casino. It causes me a huge amount of emotions! But this is not only an entertainment method for me, I also make a lot of money from it. This would not have been possible if I had not used reliable payment systems, such as https://casinocanada.com/payments/idebit/
It is a popular payment method used in Canadian online casinos. With an iDebit casino, you can make transactions straight to the casino from your online bank account. This transferring of funds is all completed electronically in a safe and secure manner.

Playing LA Noir now. This is one of my favorite games, the atmosphere of post-war Los Angeles is very faithfully conveyed. I played it on the computer and remember well how long it took to learn how to operate the car ...

One of my favorite games, but my favorite is World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. It is an addictive game and I used to spend all my free time there. And now, because of work, there is no time at all:yay:

I also love Wrath of the Lich King. Truly witness the amazing expansion of World of Warcraft reaching its peak. In the history of World of Warcraft, it's too early to be considered a new game that people first started playing. The storyline doesn't stray far enough from the lush lore used by the Warcraft I-III rts games.
